It’s not as easy to fake it for a guy as it is for a girl, but it can be done, and according to a recent survey on orgasms it’s been done by 24% of men! That’s a staggering number for something that most women don’t even know is an option.

How does a guy fake it when guy’s climaxes come along with…well…proof? First of all, a condom is a faker’s best friend. Pull the condom off quickly and throw it away and a girl may never suspect a thing. Otherwise, just saying it was a small one can cover up a faker’s tracks. And anyone with a little dramatic skill can pull off a convincing “Oh God, that’s it!”

Reasons why guys fake it:
•    He suffers from anorgasmia. – Some people—men and women alike—are just unable to climax.
•    He has a bad case of performance anxiety. – A guy may feel some pressure to perform (like if its his first time with this particular partner) and that pressure could spook his body into holding back from orgasming. In order to convince his partner that he did indeed perform well, he would fake an orgasm in this case.
•    He’s just not into it. – This doesn’t mean he’s not into you (though that could also be the problem…); it just means that for whatever reason, his mind is elsewhere – on his job, money, etc. He could just fake an orgasm to end this sack session. Maybe he’d rather—ack!—talk instead.
•    He’s on medication or has a medical condition. – Certain meds or illnesses can prevent a guy from ejaculating. He may still be able to get sexually aroused, but then has no way of relieving his erection. A never-ending erection can get exhausting and a guy may just rather fake his way out of it rather than explain his condition.
•    He’s being unfaithful. – Sometimes guilt and shame can affect a guy physically.
•    He has erectile dysfunction. – If he knows he’s about to lose his erection a bit prematurely, he may fake and orgasm, which would explain why he’s gone all soft already.
